12. It would be better to not respond to them at all. You won't change their mind

and they won't change yours. The ones that you are talking about are not interested in hearing your defense of Bernie, not in the least and your replies only give them the negative attention that they crave and it keeps their OPs alive. Stay out of their threads, problem solved and you come off looking better. Telling them you win is nothing more than continuing the bullshit arguments in a childish way and makes Bernie supporters look childish. Be an adult and leave them alone. You want to talk policy then do it here in the group with like minded people in a positive and respectful way. Pointless arguing gives them the ammunition to complain about how bad Bernie supporters are and that's their main goal. Don't fucking engage them. It's a waste of time and effort.

And by the way, no way in fucking hell will I tell anyone "You Win, Hillary is our next President""
